last monday we went to a big cathloc cathedral with Anita, our recent convert, and then we ate dinner after an intense lesson with Paul. I don't know how to help Paul, he seems so sincere, but at the same time, he is so difficult to teach. I called a member for help, and she said that we were put there in that situation for a reason, that is why I then invited myself over to her house to eat lunch and have a lesson with paul this week since paul went to barcelona.
I truly hate this keyboard, so please excuse any spelling errors,
On tuesday we went to our English family for dinner. they are so fun and Carlos Marinho is so ready to get released as stake president, it is funny. We also had interviews in Braga where president Fluckiger got out all of his notes, and my name was written there with a ton of notes right next to elder Hatch's name. Elder Hatch is ending his mission this transfer and is one of the really good elders in this mission. Well, he told me not to relax, since I would be leading other missionaries until the end of my mission.
On wednesday we had a division with the assistants. I went with Elder Cá and Elder Carvalho went with elder Govier. The funny thing is that Elder Carvalho and Elder Govier do not like each other, but they ended up doing good things. I asked elder Cá if he spoke spanish, he said yes, so I took him over to a columbian lady's house, and pois, he doesnºt speak spanish. It was a nice try. We ended the night having dinner with Guarretti and Eudielson at a memberºs home. He is in the High Counsil, so it is all good.
On Thursday we ran around trying to get things done, but all of our apointments fell through. Anita accepted us, and we taught her the 2nd lesson for the third time. . . it is her favorite, it is funny because she asks to hear it again and again.
On friday, we went to dinner with Mario and Monica. We are just waiting on a marriage with them and he will get baptized. He has stopped smoking marijuana. We also taught a lady named fátima that is progressing really well she finally understood that her baptism wasn't valid.
Saturday we went to go and do service for a lady named Kiwa, Anita's niece. We were supposed to paint a room, but she hadn't bought the paint, so she made us lunch instead. I am actually quite impressed how may meals I am getting.
Sunday we had stake conference with the Area president. we had 4 investigators there, it was pretty cool. Jaime was called to be the 2nd counselor in the stake presidency. I got to see all of my people from Viana do Castelo and Ermesinde, and I got a picture with Claudia!!!! She said she might be in Brasil when y'all are here, but it's all good, she said she would send you an email. We found a brasillian lady that was crying. We asked her what was going on, she said her husband beat her up, and that she called the cops half and hour ago and she was waiting for them. She said she would get deported seeing as she and her husband are ilegal imagrants, but she said it is better than being beaten by her husband. After talking to her for 15 minutes, the cops showed up, and we ditched her because we didn't want to be involved. Needless to say, we saw her today in her window smoking, so she wasn't arrested, she was allowed to stay, we haven't talked to her, but I thought it was strange.
